well the one thing that will solve a problem will be paper money for example a lot of people think money is a solution, and sometimes they are right sometimes they are not. sometimes people get into banks and owe a lot of money. also paper money is not as hard as carring a heavy stack of coins.

The invention that solved a problem in the world was paper money. Without paper money we would still be using heavy coins. Paper money is a better and easier way to use. Paper was made in china because chineese had trouble carring heavy coins so they invented paper money. It was easier for people to use paper money. This invention of paper money spread through the entire world.

The one i thought will solve a problem will be paper money.For example a lot of people think money is a solution,and sometimes they are not.Also people sometimes take some one else is money and then they need to pay them back.Or sometimes they come back all mad and they do something bad to that person like take there money.But people yet have alot of money and solve there problems.I think money is a great solution.

I am going to write about paper currency,because if thier wasn't paper money we would still been carrying the pack of coins. Without it we would still been trading things for other things. Without paper money we would be trading. If we didn't find anything to trade we would be without food or goods. Without paper money we couldn't buy anything or we would work more harder

I think paper money solved a problem because carring lots of coins on a rope is not cool. paper money is easier to count and it portab its alson important because with paper money you could see if its real or fake but with coins it wouldnt be so easy to tell if the coins are fake or real however paper money is not heavy and it easy to provduce

paper money is a solution to many problems because its easier than using bags full of coins. also bills are easier to cary than coins now and days a simple bill can control your life.

I think paper currency is important because we still use it today.In the past people used coins and it was hard for people to be carrying a bunches of coins.Paper money is easier to count and also to carry.Instead of carrying coins in a string around your hand or inside your pocket you can carry paper money inside your wallet.If people tried lying and making fake coins they probably did take the stuff here you can feel the paper when its fake.

i think that paper currency was a problem in the past it was a problem because the money was not paper it was coin the solution to this problem is that the chines created paper money so they would not have to cary coins all around now it the united states we use paper money and we still use coins but there not as big as the ones long time ago

In the past there was a bronze vase with eight dragons around the outside would help you detect the direction the earthquake was coming from.It will help you by showing you what specific dragon will let the ball fall from their mouth of the frog .That will show you what side the earthquake was going to go and that is how peole will have an oppurtunity to alert other people to be ready .Now in days we have seismographs that will not only help you by recording earthquakes but also masuring their magnitued and will alert people faster.

I think fireworks are the most important because of things they have done for me. If it wasnt for fireworks and gunpowder we would still be fighting with swpords and arrows. If it wasnt for gun powder we wouldnt be able to celebrate 4th of July because we would have no fireworks and gunpowder.
Jennifer Miranda
2/6/2015 03:08:15 am
I choose paper currency because creating paper money was a huge solution and a grand step in the economy.If the chinese hadn't created paper money we would still be carrying alot of heavy coins in/on a string/rope.Another thing that would be dangerous while carrying the coins would be in the night because u could have gotten robbed of your coins.Something else would be that without the invention of paper money we would probably still be carrying around out trading goods.

I think testing is the most important of all the choices that were given in the book.Why?Because if we didnt take a test we wouldn't know what level of education we would be in.We wouldn't know if we could go to college.It would be hard to see who has the ability to be a doctor,nurse,vet,teacher etc.Also taking a test helps us succeed.If you pass your test you have better chances in your education.For ex.... college.

I think the invention that is most inmportant is Testing. Why well because it puts people in positions in the government or higher ranking classes as well. I choose this because it happens for example in"The Placement Test" to put kids in advanced math or magnet. I also choose this because the Chinese were the ones who came out with that idea. The Chinese said that who ever passed the "State Exam" they could become a scholar-official, wich isa government posotion
jocelin gomez

What i think that the most smartest invenstion was paper currency. The reason why is because its way easier than having a rope with coins. Paper money is less heavier than coins. It takes time for coins to be counted. Paper money is easier because it already tells you the number of money it is. Paper money solved a problem by not making people carry heavy coins . Paper money is not as hard as coins.

I think paper money was a solution,because alot of people would carry alot of gold coins and it would be super heavy for them.Then chinese people thought about paper money,so then they made it.You can now carry like,200 dollars in your pocket and it would not be heavy at all.Imagine us carrying 200 gold coins.That would be super heavy.Thanks to the chinese we don't have to carry coins in our pocket.The chinese people just keep making our life more easier.

Paper money is one of the inventions of chinese.I believe thi invention solved a problem.The problem was that chinese had to carry coins every were so they invented paper money. Paper money came to into use in the A.D. 800s.In china it was called ''flying cash''. It was used for goods bought in distanc regions. Bunisses accepted paper money in payment for goods all over the world.This invention was a solutio because how they woud have large numbers of coins and they were hevy and difficult to carry,the invention of paper money solved this problem.Tang and Song government began to print paper money.they were the first governments in history to do this.now it was easier to carry paper money and not heavy coins the chinese developed the first paper money in the world.

Well of all the many things that China invented, was the paper money. Because unless we will be caring a rope with coins every were we go and if we have a lot, then it will be very heavy. So if it wernt for the chinese right we will be walking around with a rope with coins and we will have to pay people with only coins and if we owe a person a lot of money we will have to carry alot of coin and we will be tired.

I choose the Seismoscope invention. The Seismoscope invention is a machine to record the occurence of earthquake. What the Seismoscope shows you is which direction of the earthquake.(each dragon held a ball in its mouth. When the ground shook, one ball would fall in the mouth of a frog. (its a bronzo vaze with eight dragons around the outside.) seeing which frog held the ball
lesly santiago

Made it possible to tell the direction of the earthquake .) The Seismoscope invention solves a problem by possible to tell the direction of the earthquake . And also record the direction of the earthquake.

Well of all the many things that China invented was paper money because unless we will be carrying coins which will be heavy.So China made a good idea to invent paper money because unless right in the present we will be carrying coins all over all over instead
Angela Bueno

Out of all the Chinese inventions China had, I chose the paper money because that's what changed the entire world. If it weren't for the Chinese, for all we know, we couldv'e still be using coins or even goods. Because of their invention, everyone around the world has a much better and easier system in buying things. It was very important because from then on, people now are even making their idea of a simple piece of paper worth so much more than they expected to make life simpler
Azucena Hilario
2/6/2015 03:49:52 am
I think paper currency helped a major problem. I think it helped because carrying paper is easier than carrying a ton of coins. Paper money is easier and portable. Paper money isn't as heavy as coins are. With paper money you can tell if it is real or not, and with coins you cant.

Testing is important because today we use it to see how much we know about what the test is about.We use testing for alot of things like we use it to place people in our goverment.The goverment uses test to see if they are qualifed to be in their position.We have used it for many years also in the past they used it also to see who to put in the goverment.They used to check them just in case if they had any idea of copying or cheating on the test.I chose this becasue testing was,and always will be important everywhere.
irene salas
2/6/2015 03:52:56 am
Im going to write about paper money . paper money is popular and needed , it solved a lot of problems because there was struggles like people having to carry coins ,and when there wasn't money to buy food or anything there was trade and they would trade animals for something they needed. also now that we have money we dont have to carry coins and it is not heavy to carry they fit everywhere !
Lani Gregorio
2/6/2015 03:52:56 am
The chinese invented the seismoscope. A seismoscope solved the problem,by warning people about where will earthqakes occur. The chinese had enough time to prepare for earthquakes. Without China, we wouldn't have known when an earthquake is going to happen. Over time, it became a seismograph.
Jocelyn Juarez

Testing is a solution to our problems because with testing we could find out how much the people know. this also shows how much experience the employees have at working. this is good for us because we don't want people that don't know what to do running our country , and goverment
leslee rubio

i think paper currency solved a promblem because if chinese never invented the the idea of paper money we would be carrrying coins.Also coins make alot of noise and there hard to carry around .Even though coins are diffrent colors so we know there values paper money is a better thing in the world.
Flor Duarte
2/6/2015 03:55:48 am
I think that paper money changed the world because now in day we use it all the time all over the world.Also you dont have to carry 100 pennies when you could carry 1.00 bill.I also thank China for doing that because it makes our life easy.Iam thankful for that and any other things.
Adela Simon
2/6/2015 03:55:59 am
The invention I chose is paper money.I chose paper money because if it weren't invented present day people would have to carry lots of coins today.Also because if it weren't invented we would always carry coins like in the old days.Thanks to chinese inventors for inventing paper money which allows me to just carry like just a paper.I'm also thankful because I don't want to be carring lots of coins.
Jocelyne Montez
2/6/2015 03:57:10 am
So i chose paper currency because what would present day people do without cash? We practically rely on it. We buy and trade with cash. Money is what keeps us alive. Chinese solved the problem of carrying very heavy coins. Now we carry weightless money.
Esmeralda perez
2/6/2015 03:57:11 am
The invention I chose was a seismoscope that later became known as seismograph.It is a chinese invention of a vase with eight dragons,it was used for locating an earthquake and,which direction it came from.Eight dragons were located around the vase holding a ball in it's moluth ,so when it shakes, the ball would fall from it and into the frog sculptue's mouth.It helps them solve a problem because, the made it better and called it a seismograph.Now it records the latitude and tells exactly where it is, or was.
jonathan casiano
2/6/2015 03:58:21 am
The invention that i chose was paper money.The reason that i chose paper money waas because,who in the world would think carrying 100 pennies is better than carrying a paper dollar.Another reason why paper money being invented is a good idea is because,we could carry around like $50.00 bills,instead of carrying around 50 chains to buy something.Another reason why haveing paper money is better is because if you carry a $100.00 bill,and paper money was never invented you would be carrying 1,000,000 pennies in your pockets,and that would be very,very heavy.
Noemi Vicente
2/6/2015 03:58:49 am
Well the one i think will solve a problem will be paper money. For example a lot of people think money is a solution, and sometimes they are right sometimes they are wrong. Sometimes people get into bankrote and owe a lot of money, but sometimes people just have a lot of money and solve their problems and think money is alwaays a solution. I think money sometimes it's not a solution and sometimes it is a solution. Also because coins are heavier to carry and paper money is easier to carry around.

black powder was invented by a chinese cook. black powder exploded when it was lit by fire. i feel that black powder is important because if that chinese cook didnt invent black powder we wouldnt have fireworks. black powder is now important for us because we use it for fireworks when it is fourth of july.
Lorena Arteaga
2/6/2015 04:00:12 am
I think paper money solved the problem. Paper money is easier to count and it portable.It's also important because with paper money you bcould see if it's real ora fake. Paper money is not so a heavy to carry around in your poket and it would be easy to provide.But with coins it wouldn't be easy to tellit the coin is fake or real an wouldn't carry in a sack around.
carlos
2/6/2015 04:00:38 am
I am choosing paper money because it was really usefull back in the day.Also because if there was no paper money we would be caring alot of change in our pockets.Also change is much hevier than paper money.Also now they accept paper money and coins.So thats why i choose paper money.
jocelyn garcia
2/6/2015 04:01:10 am
I thinkthat its better to have fireworks that are easier in the present than in the past.Because in the past the firt man who created a black powder that exploded when it was lit by fire.The powder was placed on a bamboo tubes and this was 1,000 years ago.And now in the present you just lit up the fire work and it pops out and its so much easier.

paper money came into use in china in the A.D. 800's.It was called ''flying cash''. It was used for goods bought in distanst regions. Currency of some type has been used in china since the new stone age,cowry shells are believed to have been the earliest form of currency used in central china, and were used during the neolithic period. Around 210 BC, the first empereor of china Qin shi huang abolished all pther forms of local currency and introduced a uniform copper coin. Paper money was invented in china in the 9th century, but the base unit of currency remained the copper coin. copper coins were used as the chief denomination of currency in china until the introduction of the yuan in the last 19th century.

Paper money is a solution to a problem.Paper money is a solution so people dont have to carry 100 coins for 1 dollar paper money.And in China you have to carry ropes of coins now its paper money.Now you carry 100 dollars without it being heavy.And a 20 dollar bill is one paper and coins are alot and takes along time to count.
Katherine Herrera
2/6/2015 04:03:20 am
In my opinion, that solved a problem I thought was paper money. i chose paper money because before money we'd have to trade animals or someother things. Paper money changed the world because it is easier to just carry paper money. It also helped us to carry light paper money instead of heavy coins. Paper money was made in china
iris cajero
2/6/2015 04:04:14 am
Paper money is very important. It solve a problem. In China they used to buy goods all over the world. Coins were heavier than paper money. China used to use coins but they were heavy. The paper money was called ''flying cash.'' China started using it in A.D 800s.
Damaris Ramirez-Blanco

What i think was the smartest invention and solves problems is paper currency . The reason why it solves problems is because you dont have to be carring coins. Also because now in days the coins are worth different prices. Then is that paper money is worth more money than anything else. Like 100 dollars. Last is that who would want to carry 100 pennies if you can carry 1 dollar bill.
Laura Sanchez
2/6/2015 04:20:55 am
I think paper currency will solve a problem because if we didn't have paper money, we will have to carry a lot of coins. Thanks to the Chinese we have paper money. It is also an easy way to buy stuff with paper money because if we had coins it would be harder to count them than counting paper money. Another reason that paper money solves solution is that if you had a bunch of coins it is heavier than carrying a bunch of paper money. This were the reason why paper currency solves solution.
Daniela Garcia
2/6/2015 05:09:41 am
I think paper currency solved a problem. Instead of carring around lots of coins on a rope you can carry a paper. Paper money is easier to count and its portable. Its also important becauase with paper money you can see if its real or fake. But with coins you wouldnt be so easy to tell if the coin is real or fake. Paper money is not so such a heavy.

The invention i am going to write about is fireworks.Fireworks were made by the chinese by accidently putting black powder into a tube,and then lighting it up with fire.This black powder is known as gunpowder.Gunpowder is now used in weapons.It's also used in celebrations like the fourth of july.It solved the problem by countinuing through future and ending up in weapons we now use.people who use these weapons are police,soldiers,and peple who fight for our country.If we didn't have gunpower we would stillbe useing swords,spaers,bows and arrows.Gunpowder really influenced the world of today.Gunpowder is a really useful thing we use.We use it in weapons,fireworks,and it can be used in many other things.
